I wanted to give this look a very “James Bond” feel… but more solitude. I’m pretty confident that we accomplished that :)

Look forward to bringing to the KISS Magazine site in a few weeks

born of flesh and desire
loved for both and despised
created for purposes of being and seeing and becoming
remembering yesterdays songs with today
as winds and lights and night skies cover
dreams beyond seams beyond seemings
kisses become lust become God become leanings
love becomes the idea of your heart
everything becomes the idea of dust
shadows cower in corners and weep
negro people watching the world while sleep
again becomes the new day
soon come home for me
and me to find myself is not entirely selfish
selfless and created in the sake of mothers embrace
my eyes, my lips, my nose, my face
a man who once wanted everything
remembers that nothing is worth having
because nothing exists.

I did an interview recently with the good people over at Arta Chic… and it was a very hard thing to do. not because they didn’t ask me dope questions, because they surely did. not because I wasn’t comfortable, because it was the most natural interview that I’ve ever done.

It was hard because I actually see myself from outside of my own skin for once.  They are a very talented team, with works of simple yet poignant words. they cover real dope women of color in ways that are both exciting and invigorating… so I fully support them
